Everyone here at Workman Publishing has worked overtime to build us a new site full of cool features (check out our new Barbecue Wiki, for example), sizzling news, ingenious tips, smart conversation, actionable information, and of course more of the grilling and smoking recipes you crave.

You'll notice we've moved our barbecue board to the home page. Our community is the heart and soul of this website and we want to hear about your grilling adventures, salivate over your masterpieces (post photos, please!), and meet the moderators and members that make this forum so vital.

So check out the new site (click "home" in top left corner). Take a look at the new features. Let us know what you like (or don't) and what you'd like to see in the future.) (And if you see any glitches, please let us know.)

Finally--I want you to to know that I (Steven Raichlen) plan to spend a lot more time on the forum.

Think the new home page looks awesome, I loved the theme on the forum pages, and thought the home page transition made it more complete.

It's funny, never spent time on the home page looking around before today, are things like the Blog and the Wiki new?

Also Steven did you ever think about hosting podcast on this board and maybe doing them more frequent, maybe adding a way for the forum and other folks to send in questions that you answer on the podcast?

+1 to all of the above. It's great to hear from you, Steven, and the site changes are awesome!

Unlike propane, you'll never wake up scorched and naked in another county because you mishandled a bag of briquettes.

Agreed about the layout. While I always thought the old format was very reminiscent of grill/fire/charcoal based on the color scheme, I have to admit this larger, lighter themed board is much easier to read. Kudos to all on the changes.
